I don't think you understand. If Flash gets on the iPad it would destroy the user experience which is KEY to the iPads appeal. As has been stated time and again Flash is a resource hog heck even it's defenders admit that. The iPad is known for it's responsiveness mix the iPad with a resource hog and you get a less responsive system with less battery life.
Allowing the "market" to decide this or the user to discover this would make the iPad a computer "project" rather than a simple.. easy to use... responsive application. It could easily mean that devices with the iPad approach might not exist for the mix would be all wrong a super responsive device can not exist in a FLASH filled world. It's much like a modern car engine. You don't put leaded gas in a tank marked unleaded. All Apple is doing is trying to keep the lead out:P
